Biosketch: "My name is Michael Norell. I am a prosthetist and orthotist and own Norell Prosthetics Orthotics. I've been working in the human engineering profession for 40 years. My military medical background was with the US Navy and Marine Corps., specializing in Field Medicine. My education includes a Human Biology degree from Cal State, Hayward, as well as the Prosthetic Orthotic Program at the UCLA School of Medicine. I am currently planning three medical missions overseas with three different groups. The emphasis of these missions will be educational as well as making custom prosthetic devices on site. I know I can improve people's lives, and I have, and I will continue to do so."
